!!! So good! Ah, this episode didn't fail to live up to my expectations.

The Pam/Jim was totally great. Pam was so cute at the beginning with how excited she was, and her smoothing down her hair when he came in the door, and how he was trying to joke around and she was just too excited to go with it and hugged him. Awwww. Poor Pam when she saw Jim and Karen. But poor Jim at the end. Ok, so I'm not crazy with my interpretation of the end, am I? Because I've seen a lot of people being like "OMG JIM'S SEEING SOMEONE WHO?" and then others "OMG WHEN DID JIM START SEEING KAREN?!" and I'm like "Uh... Jim isn't seeing anyone, right?" Because I figured that Jim's kind of picked up on Karen liking him and he might kind of like her too, but nothing's happen, just flirtation, and when he said he was seeing someone to Pam, he just wanted to see how she'd react. If they really were just friends, or if she had feelings for him. But then she didn't react, she was just like "Oh, that's fine, we're friends!" and so he figured that ok, she doesn't still have feelings for him (although she obviously only said that after witnessing Jim and Karen all day and because she thinks he no longer feels that way about her), and maybe now Jim will start seeing Karen, but I totally don't think they were together when Jim said they were. I mean, we could find out next week that I'm totally off on this, but... I just don't believe it.

Anyways. Besides the awesome Jim/Pam, the next best part of the episode was totally Andy. Andy and Michael, Andy and Dwight, Andy and Angela. So freaking hilarious. Can Ed Helms please be made a regular? Because he was just awesome tonight. I mean, he's been great in the previous episodes too, but seeing him sucking up to Michael and competing with Dwight was just absolutely hilarious.

The rest of the episode was also great, but I don't have as much to say about it. Ah, man, I can't wait until the next new episode. :D

Hm... I hadn't thought of it that way, but you might be right. I just assumed Jim was referring to Karen when he said he was seeing someone. I mean, I thought he was testing to see how Pam reacted, but that he actually was kind of seeing Karen... or maybe, he was unsure, but now that Pam doesn't seem interested in him (although she obviously is!), he is going to go out with Karen. Ohhhhh Jim. :P

I don't know, I could be totally wrong, but that was just my first impression from the scene and I was surprised that it didn't seem like a lot of other people got the same impression. I just think that we would've like... seen more if Karen and Jim were really dating, you know? I don't think they would've told us about them like that. But I could be so wrong about this. I guess we'll find out!

I initially had that exact same reaction to the last Jim/Pam scene in the parking lot, but then I read what everyone else had said and felt like I'd been WAY off base. I'm still not entirely sure how I'm supposed to interprete it, but hopefully we'll find out Thursday. Thanks for making me not feel like such an idiot!
